FOXBORO, Mass. — With six Super Bowl titles, 3 MVPs and the most wins in the history of the Patriots, Tom Brady’s legacy in New England was already etched in stone.

Soon it will be set in bronze as well.

The team will unveil a bronze statue of the future Hall-of-Famer prior to the team’s preseason game against the Washington Commanders on August 8.

Specifics about the statue weren’t given but it will likely stand outside the main entrance to Gillette Stadium.

Brady will become the first Patriot in the franchise’s history to be memorialized in a statue at the stadium.

The Patriots retired Brady’s No.12 jersey last summer and owner Robert Kraft waived the organization’s traditional four-year waiting period for the team’s Hall of Fame.

The game against the Commanders is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
